Birthday Mani. and Polish Haul!

Good morning! My birthday was June 23....two weeks ago today, so this is a little late. I wanted to post about it anyway, since it involved polish....lots of polish! :-)

First I'm going to show you what I wore as my b-day mani. It's a polish I actually got as a gift, and I'm in love with it! It's Hare Rad Cloud, which is a new Hare polish that was just very recently released. Rad Cloud is a med. pink base with lots of different colored square glitter! I really love square glitter, and think Hare makes some of the best polishes with it. There is also multi colored med. hex glitter, and tiny purple glitter. I used one coat of Rad Cloud over two coats of OPI Pedal Faster Suzi. Application was great! I had no problems with it at all. Rad Cloud can def. be worn on it's own as well.







Here is a pic. of my birthday polish haul!



Lots of polish for my b-day this year! I was in polish heaven! ;-) Now for some close ups.

I also got some other great things...books,gymnastics bag and shirt etc....It was a great day. It started off with the hubby and I going to an early movie and brunch at Fork and Screen, where I had a mimosa, and maple bacon ice cream waffles.....It was SO yummy!!!





Then we went to out to dinner with my family that night, to a really good local Italian place. I had a combo plate that included, lasagna,spaghetti,Italian sausage, and a baseball sized meatball. It was awesome! ;-)



Then we had one of the best tasting cakes I think I've ever had. Seriously, it was sooo good!



Last, but not least we had ice cream. I had peanut butter pretzel. Enough said. LOL!



I think I gained ten pounds that day, but it was so worth it! ;-)

If you've made it this far, thanks for reading, and I hope you all have a fabulous Saturday! :-)

Lynnderella Sweets to the Sweet over CG Lemon Fizz

Good evening! I know I'm a few days late, but I'm going to show you my Easter mani. I started out using China Glaze Lemon Fizz, which is one of my fav. pastel yellow's. I'm not the biggest fan of pastel's. Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I do like them color wise. I just don't like working with pastel polish. I don't like the chalkiness it leaves behind, if it gets on your skin. I do have my favs. of each color though, and for yellow it's CG Lemon Fizz. It's not terribly hard to work with. I used two coats of LF and two coats of Lynnderella Sweets to the Sweet. I LOVE Sweets to the Sweet! For some reason it just reminds me of jelly beans, or jelly candy. It has a milky white base, that's pretty thin. The glitter is made of multi colored squares and hex, with some white square glitter thrown in.







Here is a pic. of China Glaze Lemon Fizz on it's own.



Thanks so much for looking, and I hope you have a great night! :-)

Lynnderella Happy Holo Daze and OPI Gift of Gold.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day day.....whether you celebrate Christmas or not. :-)

This is going to be another short one, but I wanted to get my Christmas mani. posted before the day is over. I used OPI Gift of Gold as my base. It's from last year's Ulta holiday exclusives. Gift of Gold is made up of mostly gold glitter. It also has some red and silver glitter throughout. Application was absolutely wonderful for a glitter. Seriously. It was a one coat glitter! That doesn't happen very often.

I put two coats of Lynnderella Happy Holo Daze on top. Happy Holo Daze in one word, is awesome!!! It's like a bottled Christmas party! :-) It has different sizes of red, and green square glitter, and round glitter. It also has red and green bar glitter, and silver holo hex glitter.

Pics. of the finished mani. first.

Thanks so much for reading!!! I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful day no matter what you do! :-)

Nabi Jumbo Purple Glitter over Finger Paints Black Expressionsim.

Well. Here I am yet AGAIN, apologizing for being MIA. I am sorry, and I really appreciate you all sticking with me. I fully expected to log on and see that I'd lost followers. Not only did I not lost any, but I gained a couple. So thank you to all who have stayed, and welcome to the new comers. :-) I really appreciate ALL of you. :-)

I didn't expect this week to be so busy. It all started on Fri. evening when I got a call from my mom, telling me that President Obama was going to be in my hometown, speaking at the high school I graduated from. I seriously thought she was joking. I'm from a very small town in Kansas, called Osawatomie. There are around 4,500 people who live there. I have no idea why Obama chose us, but he did. I had to go. This was a HUGE deal for my little town. There were only 400 tickets to give away. So, on Sun. morning, my husband and I drove down and stood in line for tickets. We got in line at 6am and stood there until noon. It was absolutely freezing cold. It was well worth it though, because we got our tickets! Obama spoke on Tues. and it was really amazing to be a part of it. My dad, who has been a history teacher at the high school for almost 50 years got to sit right down in front. Pretty cool! The entire thing still feels so surreal. You would not believe the amount of cops,swat team,secret service,bomb dogs etc...that were all around the town. Anyway, that's where I've been the past few days. Something I will never forget. :-)

Okay...on to the nail news. ;-) My nails are slowly getting longer after my nail catastrophe, and I think I finally found my perfect black creme. It's Finger Paints Black Expressionsim. It's what I've been looking for, forever! It's not runny,not too thick,doesn't chip and it's a ONE coater. It's smooth, and applies like a dream. I applied Nabi Purple Jumbo glitter over it. Purple Jumbo Glitter is pretty amazing! It's made of small and med. orange glitter,large orange hex glitter,large orange square glitter,and round purple glitter. I am loving it over black! I also tested over purple and it looked great too.

Multi Shapes Glitter Mani.

Good evening! Have you had a good weekend? Mine was pretty good. Yesterday, hubby took me to Dave and Buster's for my birthday. I had never been before, and had a great time. :-) I've pretty much done nothing today, and it's been quite nice. ;-)

The mani. I'm showing you tonight is the one I wore yesterday to D&B's. I used seven different polishes. I started out with one thick coat of Essie Marshmallow, a squishy white. I then added one coat of Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada, a multi colored/sized, glitter. Next, I used one coat of Love My Nails, All That, a purple,blue, and silver square glitter in a clear base. Then Sally Hansen In The Spotlight, a hologram bar glitter. After that, I added a few colored stars from Dear Laura pa AA03. Next, I added one coat of Love My Nails Pot O' Gold, diamond shaped glitter with regular gold glitter. Finally, I added a coat of Essie Matte About You, and I was done! I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I ended up loving it! It was not thick at all for using so many polishes, which is what I was worried about.

First two pics. are with the matte top coat.

The next two pics. are without the matte top coat.
